The slope of the scenario is calculated as: -250.

<h3>How to Find the Slope Value?</h3>

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (y2 - y1)/((x2 - x1).

Given the points:

(4, 7,000) = (x1, y1)

(6, 6,500) = (x2, y2)

Plug in the values

Slope (m) = (6,500 - 7,000) / (6 - 4)

Slope (m) = (-500) / (2)

Slope (m) = -250
